Dry Cows

Feeding far off and close up dry cows is critical and Amaferm is an important additive. The key factor in dry cows is maintaining health and body condition. Amaferm helps achieve these objectives by increasing forage digestion and improving feed intake. With the utilization of forages for the dry cow, Amaferm can help reduce the high cost of protein. Amaferm increases microbial protein by as much as 10% which increases protein digestion. This is critical to the upclose dry cow to prepare them for freshening. Maximizing feed intake is the most important component of any upclose diet. University published research has shown that Amaferm can increase dry matter intake up to 15%.This will allow the upclose dry cow to maintain proper body condition when it freshens and therefore, improve milk production. BioZyme offers a variety of Vita Ferm complete mineral and vitamin supplements for the far off dry and close up fresh cow. The Vita Ferm close up dry cow mineral contains niacin which helps increase feed intake along with high levels of selenium and Vitamin E. These two elements are important for calving and avoiding retained placentas.  All Vita Ferm dry cow products contain Amaferm.
